Winter Speed-Meeting Evening. - Bryn - 10-21-2013
We all know that the adventuring life can be lonesome at times. As winter deepens and Eorzeas nights grow longer, what better way could there be to ward off the cold than basking in the warmth of newly kindled friendships?
To that end, The Traveling Templar cordially invites any and all adventurers to our first speed-meeting event. You’ll meet new people and hopefully make new friends, and afterwards there will be mingling with food and drink available.
When:Â Saturday the 9th of November, 7:30pm EST.
Where:Â Fallgourd Float, North Shroud. To avoid congestion, attendance is by application only.
Details:
- Attendance to this event is limited. This is purely to keep the event manageable. If you wish to attend, contact either Nadeau Celeste, Ne'ci Aera or Brynhilde Wulf in-game, or PM Bryn or Ne'ci on the RPC forums. When you apply, you will be given a number. Please write this down and keep it safe!
- The event will be run by mods from The Traveling Templar. Before the event, you will be told the name of the mod for your group.
- This is a charity event held for the benefit of those poor souls displaced by the Calamity. There will be a 500gil In-character entrance fee. (We won’t actually be taking gil from you).
- Characters will be organised into groups, set up in a structured way so as to get them talking with strangers. After the time slot is up the group rotates and you’ll get a new partner.
- Conversation with your partner will be conducted in /tell. This is to prevent the undesirable situation of massive chat-log flood.
- This is not a speed-dating event! For the sake of simplicity, it's simply speed-meeting. Groups will not be arranged by gender (however, if romance does happen to blossom, that is thoroughly encouraged!)
- Your character will be conversing with others in 6 minute slots. The use of large amounts of descriptive prose and long emotes is therefore not advised.
- Come prepared with interesting trivia regarding your character, and make use of the game's emote list. Macros are a good idea!
- Please refrain from OOC chatter in /say, if you can.
- To keep the event from going on all night, we will not wait for DC's, bathroom breaks, etc. There will be short breaks between rounds.
- The speed-meeting is expected to last for just over an hour. The mingling afterwards will go on for as long as people hang around!
((Special thanks to Masha'ra Dhavha, Xenillia Silverclaw, Sophia Grave and Eses Fafa for helping us test the logistics for this event!))

Ahoy there! I've been quite the lurker on this site for awhile, but I've finally gotten an account and posted upon this event being recommended to me by a friend.
Although I am not 100% sure I can be in attendance, I would like to be! So, mark down Ariadne Sforza if that's alright.
RE: Winter Speed-Meeting Evening. - LandStander - 11-08-2013
I'm so glad this got bumped. I was unaware of this. I might be a last minute entry. It depends on when I get out of class this day.
RE: Winter Speed-Meeting Evening. - Bryn - 11-08-2013
Indeed the event is tomorrow, ladies and gents! There are still slots open for late applications, so do let us know if you'll be coming along.
RE: Winter Speed-Meeting Evening. - Aurelie Eleveur - 11-09-2013
Whee!
This event should be fun!
RE: Winter Speed-Meeting Evening. - Bryn - 11-09-2013
Only a few more hours to go! All are welcome, and we still have slots open.
RE: Winter Speed-Meeting Evening. - Bryn - 11-09-2013
And that's a wrap! Thank you to everyone who came along. We hope you had a good time!

Was a very fun event! Thanks a lot for putting this on!
RE: Winter Speed-Meeting Evening. - Nebbs - 11-10-2013
I was a bit reticent at 1st as it clearly takes a lot of organising (cat herding) but once going it as great. I will be there for the second one.Â
A BIG thanks to the organisers
